First get all of the assocery taken off and labled. then put a jack with a wood block at the center of the eng--.take off th 4 bolts that hold the eng-- to the trans, then take off the rear bolts. pull the eng to the back till it just clears the main shaft of the trance.then solwly lower the jack. keep it clear of the main shaft. also a good idea to replace the seal on the main shaft of the trance. good luck Ron williwms -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "Dave Hall" <dave@hallvw.clara.co.uk> > > Go up top and look at the front of the motor (John Muir reference: front > > is front of car) and look for two bolts that would be horizontal and at > > about 10 and 2 o'clock around the flywheel.
